Layout featuring colorized 3D prints of HIV virus particles (pink with teal surface proteins) and a background image that is a colorized transmission electron micrograph of HIV virus particles (pink) ...

In stunning color images using time-lapse microscopy, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have for the first time captured the very earliest stages of HIV infection in living cells.

Do you notice the tiny red-ringed dots in this image? Those little spots are HIV particles. They are concentrated on contact points in the brain between an infected immune cell and an uninfected ...

HIV spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals. Once individuals are infected, HIV particles target our T cells, a type of white blood cell. Healthy T cells identify ...

To follow the HIV virions' movement, the authors fused green fluorescent protein (GFP) to one of the viral accessory proteins, Vpr. They then followed the movement of GFP-labelled virions through the ...
